Three times married to Yama

Chapter 8 Soul-Binding Array

I helplessly spread my hands. "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"You can look up my background yourself; I'm a law-abiding citizen."

For the first twenty years, whether in the village, at school, or in front of my father, I was a sickly and obedient girl. What could they possibly find out?

Besides, I didn't kill them, and I had no motive to kill them. I'm not afraid of anyone investigating.

Looking at the short-haired woman in front of him, however, he seemed rather suspicious.

"Putting me aside, what are you doing here so late at night, sister?" I asked.

When I countered with my question, the short-haired woman suppressed her smile. Her gaze lingered on me before she finally said, "I'm an official, here to investigate the Tian family murder case."

"I just happened to see you leaving. I never expected you to give me such a big surprise."

It turns out they were government officials.

I calmly said, "Since you're from the government, I'll tell you everything I dreamed about, and you officials can go dig up the body."

Once the corpse is dug out and the talisman is destroyed, the Soul-Binding Array will naturally break.

The person who sets up this formation will also suffer a backlash.

The short-haired woman was still suspicious of me, but she was more interested in finding the remaining bodies.

"you say."

Just as I was about to speak, a figure appeared behind the short-haired woman like a ghost.

My eyes widened instantly, and I was speechless for a moment, pointing behind her.

"What's wrong?" the short-haired woman asked, somewhat puzzled, seeing my expression.

I raised my hand and pointed tremblingly behind her.

"Hui, Aunt Hui," I called softly.

I thought she had already left, but I didn't expect her to still be here. Her sudden appearance made me a little uneasy. How long has she been here? Could it be that she has been following me since I left the house?

I'm really getting annoyed with this person.

The short-haired woman suddenly turned around and came face-to-face with Aunt Hui, who was wearing a Taoist robe and had no expression.

"The body cannot be dug up," Aunt Hui said, her voice icy.

Upon seeing her attire, the short-haired woman frowned instantly. "And who are you?"

Aunt Hui ignored the short-haired woman and walked straight towards me.

"Lan Yin, the body cannot be dug up," she said to me again.

Why?

I looked at Aunt Hui calmly. How could this soul-trapping formation be broken without digging? Unless…

"Aunt Hui, cooperating with the authorities in solving cases is our responsibility as citizens," I said earnestly to her.

Upon hearing my words, Aunt Hui, who had been expressionless, suddenly turned grimace. "If we dig up the corpses, they will all turn into vengeful ghosts!"

The short-haired woman immediately became displeased upon hearing this. "What ghosts and all that nonsense? This kind of feudal superstition isn't allowed anymore. Are you stopping the exhumation of the body because you're the murderer?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hui turned her head and gave the short-haired woman a cold look. "Young friend, don't talk nonsense without evidence."

"Whether you agree or not, the body is going to be dug up." The short-haired woman waved her phone. "I've already notified my people, and they'll be here to dig up the body soon. Your objections are useless."

At this moment, I tugged at Aunt Hui's arm. "Aunt Hui, you're my dad's junior sister, you must be quite capable. Even if the Tian family members turn into vengeful ghosts, you can definitely handle them! Aunt Hui, I believe in you!"

Aunt Hui, "..."

The short-haired woman acted immediately, jumping into the pit to retrieve the body.

Previously, I only dug the pit, but did not touch the corpse in the pit, and I have not yet removed the talisman paper from the pit.

At this moment, the short-haired woman had already removed the talisman. She sneered, "Ha, playing tricks."

When Aunt Hui saw the talisman in the short-haired woman's hand, she was immediately horrified. "Give me the talisman!"

"This is evidence, how could I possibly give it to you?"

After saying that, the short-haired woman went to move the corpse again. Aunt Hui was no longer concerned about me at this point. She ran towards the short-haired woman, reached out and pressed down on her shoulder, making her unable to move.

But Aunt Hui clearly underestimated the short-haired woman's skills. The short-haired woman seemed to have received professional training, and the two quickly became entangled in a fight. Aunt Hui was unable to gain the upper hand.

It seems that Aunt Hui won't get the better of someone in terms of physical skills.

The short-haired woman shouted, "If you keep doing this, I'll report you for obstructing official business!"

Aunt Hui remained silent, focused solely on retrieving the talisman from the short-haired woman's hand. The short-haired woman also realized the importance of the talisman to Aunt Hui.

She held up the talisman, "If you keep bothering me, I'll tear this talisman to shreds!"

Tsk, once this talisman breaks, the formation is directly destroyed, and those who set up the formation will suffer a backlash. Now it seems that there is a 99% chance that Aunt Hui is the one who set up the formation.

Seeing the short-haired woman about to tear up the talisman, Aunt Hui's face turned a deep shade of liver with anger.

Then she turned her head and saw me eating melon seeds. Aunt Hui's eyes darkened, and she quickly rushed to my side, grabbing my arm with one hand and choking my neck with the other!

"If you dare tear the talisman, I'll strangle her!"

Holy crap?

Aunt Hui is finally not acting anymore, right?

Besides, why would you use me to threaten a short-haired woman?

Will this work?

When this unexpected turn of events occurred, the short-haired woman froze. She was still holding the talisman, but her expression showed worry for me.

"Don't act impulsively, don't hurt her."

"I'll give you the talisman if you want."

But Aunt Hui changed her mind.

I heard Aunt Hui say fiercely in my ear, "Lan Yin, did your father really not leave you the Hundred Ghosts Record? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame Aunt Hui for being ruthless."

Aunt Hui's true colors were finally fully exposed at this moment, but did she really think I was a pushover?

My face remained calm, and I couldn't help but smile softly.

"Aunt Hui, now that things have come to this, you shouldn't hide it from me anymore. Are you really my father's junior sister?" I asked.

"certainly."

"Really? How could someone as capable as my father have such a useless junior sister like you?"

Hearing my words, Aunt Hui tightened her grip on my neck slightly. "What did you say? Say it again."

"I said you're useless." I repeated.

Now that things have come to this, Aunt Hui can no longer be kept alive.

I raised my other hand, which was not restrained by Aunt Hui, and my icy fingertips were about to gently touch the hand that was pinching my neck.

But just then, the earring I had pinned to my collar began to shimmer with a faint blue light.

???

Something's up? Let's not move for now.

I lowered my raised hand and let Aunt Hui pinch me.

Aunt Hui whispered venomously in my ear, "I'm sorry, my dear niece, if you can't produce the Hundred Ghosts Record, then you're as good as dead."

In an instant, tears welled up in my eyes.

"Aunt Hui, please don't kill me..."

As soon as I finished speaking, a faint blue light suddenly enveloped the area where I was.

In an instant, Aunt Hui, who was gripping me, and the short-haired woman both seemed to be frozen in place, completely still.

A tall, imposing, and oppressive figure emerged from the dark blue light.

Oh no, it's him.
